With the logic board out and the computer back-side down just depress the large button on the front bottom and gently rock the blade in the seam moving it toward the top. Don't try to "pry" it ...you'll chew up the plastic. A firm rocking motion is all you need. My second tool of choice would be an old non-serrated edge butter knife. It's not that hard.....really!
